Unintended consequences

[lunatica]

turns into a kick in the teeth to Donald Trump.

He orchestrates his MAGATs and entices them to spew and fling raging foam from their mouths at Ilhan Omar in knee jerk spasms to scream “Send her back!”, “Send her back!”

So Ilhan Omar goes back home and receives a hero’s welcome from her American constituents at the airport chanting their welcome message.

Trump has a meltdown! He has just made her a worldwide hero and a household name.

1. I love it...

it's like an Obama moment.

[lunatica]

4. This is the country I love

I’m glad for this reminder!

[malaise]

8. It's even better because the Con didn't see this coming

[lunatica]

9. I know!!

His intention was so NOT this!

[leftieNanner]

25. He lives in his own distorted bubble

He tells his crowd that he is their favorite president and they cheer. So he extrapolates and assumes that everyone loves him.



So he could never imagine that Rep. Omar would be treated this way.

Note: guessing he doesn't know what "extrapolate" means.

[malaise]

28. It's all made up but it keeps him alive

He's unlovable and he knows it
Decent people don't even want him around - he had to beg for a meal with the British queen.

[leftieNanner]

31. You are so right

We are having to live through this chaos as by-standers. I cannot imagine being him, or a family member, having to live in this chaos 24/7. No wonder he's mentally ill.

[George II]

29. I sure as shit hope he saw it on television, though!!!

[malaise]

32. He had to - it's everywhere

and good

[saidsimplesimon]

33. So true, thanks for all that you do.

[malaise]

34. Thank you too

[saidsimplesimon]

35. I'm working on my anger management.

Love and best wishes

[Arkansas Granny]

2. And look at the diversity in her welcome home crowd. I see black people, brown people, white people

young people, old people. The are all represented and the press is there to cover it. Wonderful.

[lunatica]

3. I see a couple of union signs too.

I’m enjoying this golden moment on so many levels!

[George II]

30. There are about 150,000 Muslims living in Minneapolis and suburbs.

[asiliveandbreathe]

5. Those are the faces of the American way...

Racists go low..the American way goes high!!!! The embrace of Ilhan Omar is heart warming and encouraging - there are more of us than of them...

Americans are woke!!!!!!

[richsonpoordad]

6. Oh, and all those horrible things she said on her arrival back home.

Proves how much she doesn't love America.

[lunatica]

7. Ilhan Omar's America is a cool place to be!

[Caliman73]

10. Oh but don't you know it was all STAGED.

Yeah, it was staged by American people who love their Representative and think you are a giant man-baby asshole!!

[lunatica]

11. He knows all about staging

He’s been trying to stage something like this all his life for his own benefit, but that would mean he has to fly regular and walk into an airport where there are PEOPLLLLLLE! Real, unpaid peoplllle!

[Wounded Bear]

12. Well, you know you can "stage" a rally like that in about 15 minutes these days...

It is the internet age.

[lunatica]

13. Hand painted signs and everything!

Sure.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Well, add in driving time to the airport...

[lunatica]

15. Don't forget the time it takes to find a parking space

and the walk to the terminal.

[Wounded Bear]

17. I don't fly, but I get that at the VA some times...

[lunatica]

19. There's a reason why airports require flyers get to the airports

one to two hours before their flights.

[Caliman73]

16. EVERY rally is staged.

I hear you

The reality is that those demonstrations are staged to a certain degree. People who like Ohmar likely knew she was coming home, threw something together, and called the media.

Trump is trying to conflate that type of grass roots "staging" with what he and his cronies do.


Trump's rallies are obviously orchestrated on a professional level to try and make him look as good as possible, to the point where it is obvious. His press conferences, anything he does is done deliberately to avoid the regular mistakes and lack of ability to be spontaneous and to get the most sycophantic people around him.

Of course Ohmar's arrival was not a, "Oh I happened to be at the airport with a sign, with a bunch of other people and cameras" spontaneous event. The difference is that The supporters were motivated to go there by themselves and didn't need professional coordination, a promise of money or a spectacle.

Trump is upset that people actually, naturally, and with reason, like Ilan Ohmar.

[Wounded Bear]

18. He's upset that nobody likes him...

including and especially himself.

[Caliman73]

21. You got that right.

If you can't be alone with yourself in a room, and care about yourself in a meaningful way, there is no amount of adoration you can have, or buy, or rent that will fill that void.

Trump does not understand love. His value of himself is completely pathological. I would feel sympathy for him if he wasn't such a destructive asshole.

[lunatica]

22. That may be debatable

Narcissist are capable of feeling profound love, sympathy and empathy, but only for themselves. Their self pity is gargantuan. They know their self pity is the best too, because it’s the one thing they know is sincere!

20. a beautiful welcome home. nt

[geardaddy]

23. That's my rep!

Welcome home Representative Omar!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

24. Send her back....to Congress!

After some meetings and much-deserved rest at home........

Local coverage: http://www.startribune.com/supporters-rally-around-ilhan-omar-following-send-her-back-attacks/512917102/

(snip)

More than 100 people filled the baggage claim area with songs, signs and cheers of “Welcome home, Ilhan,” providing a stark contrast to chants of “Send her back!” that reverberated through a Trump rally in North Carolina just a day before. In brief remarks, a defiant Omar vowed to “continue to be a nightmare to this president, because his policies are a nightmare to us.”

“We are not deterred, we are not frightened, we are ready. We are in the ring,” Omar said before departing for a town hall in south Minneapolis. “We are in the people’s house, and we are going to continue to fight it until we have the America we know we all deserve.”

KY.......

26. Wonderful Welcome Home!

[Fritz Walter]

27. And Epstein's ludicrous bail request was DENIED

Trifecta!

Have another Big Mac and fries, donnie two-scoops! Save some room for some KFC later tonight. And ice cream, of course.

Between the stress from the headlines and the high-fat/sodium/cholesterol/sugar intake, soon we won’t need Article 25. As if the Cabinet (of acting appointees) or Senate had collective spines.

[lunatica]

36. May Epstein never see the sky without bars in front of it again

[magicarpet]

38. Don't forget the extra double helping of KFC mashed potatoes...

.... with a triple helping of lard infused brown gravy.

[demigoddess]

37. very proud of those Americans!that is what America looks like!!!!
